A Savannah, GA native, Jonah Kagen is the embodiment of raw talent and relentless dedication. At just 25, Jonah has already made waves with over 386 million global streams, 2.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and two critically acclaimed EPs—The Roads and Black Dress, featuring hit “God Needs The Devil” which is presently Top 15 at Alternative radio and was chosen as one of Spotify’s Best Pop Songs of 2024.
Jonah’s unique artistry extends beyond his deep, universally resonant songwriting. He is also a skilled guitarist and instrumentalist, having played many instruments since childhood. And to round out his self-sufficiency, he has taught himself how to produce every note, most recently in an Airstream that he transformed into his personal mobile studio.
The Airstream isn’t just a fun adventure; it’s a reflection of Jonah’s spirit, drawing inspiration from both nature and legends before him like Townes Van Zandt, Jason Isbell, and Andy McKee. Whether touring on his sold-out solo dates or performing alongside the likes of Sam Barber and Chance Peña in the US and abroad, Jonah’s sound is a blend of personal experience and universal connection. Unsurprisingly, Jonah’s balance of grit and musicality make him a festival mainstay having performed at the historic Austin City Limits, AmericanaFest, Summerfest, and RedWestwith and will continue this summer with stops at RiverBeat, Under The Big Sky, Calgary Stampede, Bourbon & Beyond, and more.
With his electrifying energy, sincere songwriting, and genre-defying sound, Jonah Kagen is one to watch.
